    Hey Sandy,
    Very nice choice of SS and you have an excellent seperation of the FG rocks. I might tone down the lighter blues in the MG just a touch.....but other than that.....this turned out excellent! Nice to see you using the GND too and it worked very well also. Minor tweaks to an excellent image!

    I like this very much. Pleasing composition and water flow, lovely colours and IQ. I agree with Roman on the blues.
    That wave is blurred just right!

    Thank you for your comments and suggestions! A definite on the blue tones. I never saw it. More eyes looking are always better. Thanks for the help!

    Very nice Sandy. No complaints. I live in Maine just up the coast from you. Where was this taken? PM me if you like. Thanks.

    Sandy,

    Agree with the above - well done. Remove some cyan from the sky and add black to darken a bit. Use Selective Color in PS if you use it.

    Hi Sandy, beautiful comp and perfect wave blur. Agree with Roman on the water and Robert on the sky. Very nicely seen!

    Basically, saying it differently each time, we would all like to see a bit more contrast. The entire image is a magically pastel; perhaps that is what you want and works for you. That is OK too!

    Very pleasing image. I am surprised no one has mentioned the noise on the image.
    At iso100, it must be jpeg compression, but I think a bit of NR would be nice.

    great composition and use of ss with filter :) I think the noise is also related to compression but something you may want to look at is shooting at F11 or 16 with this combo for best use from the lens and stacking another grad with th eone u used to assit in getting exposure time :)

    Thanks for those shooting tips and other suggestions. I just bought the 10-22 so I am trying to find the sweet spot for it. I do need to buy another ND filter.
